  1. Can I find a "desk" RN job without experience

    spaghetina replied to SoulSpirit_Rn's topic in Nursing Career

    I'm an introvert too (being an only child only served to make me even more so because I had fewer interactions with people my own age), and shy to boot. There are desk jobs available - I currently...

  2. Burned out on telephone triage

    spaghetina replied to Mnstn's topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic

    I took a triage position in OBGYN about 4 months ago for a change of pace from direct patient care. It's not strictly phone - we also handle the physician's in basket messages, where I'd say 80% of...

  3. Going from bedside to OP 9-5

    spaghetina replied to AMNurse154's topic in Nursing Career

    I've never done bedside, and I've been a nurse for close to 3 years. Not for lack of trying, but right out of school, I missed all of the new grad programs that my cohort got into because my state...

  4. Negotiating Pay in the Outpatient Environment

    spaghetina posted a topic in General Nursing

    I've seen a lot of questions regarding negotiating pay within a hospital system, but what about in the ambulatory/outpatient sector? Is this something that is typically done, or do most people just...

  5. Adventist Health Question + Hirevue Software Question

    spaghetina posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hi, all! After a crushing and humiliating first interview experience for a new grad position a couple months ago, I've finally landed another one. This time, with Adventist Health in Hanford, CA. So...

  6. Kaiser New Grad Salary - Bay Area

    spaghetina posted a topic in General Nursing

    I know there's a lot of talk about salary, but I haven't seen anything current that quite answers my question. I'm trying to gauge what the top end of a new grad salary is in the Bay Area -...

  8. Have you worked in dermatology?

    spaghetina posted a topic in General Nursing

    So, I may have an interview at a private practice dermatology clinic soon. I know there are general behavioral questions that are asked during most interviews, but if you work at a derm clinic, can...

  9. Im socially awkward. Cant interview well.

    spaghetina replied to lpatt9981's topic in Nursing Career

    Let me share my first (and basically last) interview story with you, in the hopes that my sorrow makes you feel better about how you did. Some background on me. I'm a new grad. I've never worked as a...

  10. Hirevue, digital interview at Montefiore.

    spaghetina replied to lpn2rn2's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I'm interviewing for a totally different hospital, but I'll also be doing a Hirevue digital interview. Can you tell me if you did the practice run throughs, and if so, were you forced to do the...

  11. Adventist Health New Grad Program, Central Valley

    spaghetina replied to krazievi3t6url's topic in California Nursing

    I know I'm resurrecting an oldish thread here, but for anyone who is currently working for Adventist Hanford, or has worked for them in the recent past, do you recall what your video interview was...

    spaghetina replied to 2ndGen BSN, RN's topic in California Nursing

    Has anyone heard anything back, now that interviews should be over? Regional Medical was hiring during the same period, and people are now receiving

  13. Good Samaritan New Grad StaRN program San Jose, CA

    spaghetina replied to Myndi's topic in General Nursing

    It's just under $32/hr during the training period (13-16 weeks), and then you start at the hospital's pay rate of $50.40 afterwards. There is a 2-yr contract that begins after training ends. I just...

  14. Kaiser New Grad Salary - Bay Area

    spaghetina replied to spaghetina's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you for the clarification. :) I do understand your frustration with freely giving information, and then having people take it for granted - like it was owed to them. I have tried Googling, and I...

  15. Kaiser New Grad Salary - Bay Area

    spaghetina replied to spaghetina's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you in advance? Lol. Please don't take this the wrong way, but I really don't know why you would reply in the manner that you did. So you have the information, but are unwilling to share it. You...

    I'm sorry, I'm not quite sure I'm catching what you mean. Can you

  17. Going back to school at 30

    spaghetina replied to JJL618's topic in General Students

    Those sound a lot like theory classes. Is pathophys maybe in your prereqs? It should be in your curriculum somewhere, followed by/along with

  18. Going back to school at 30

    spaghetina replied to JJL618's topic in General Students

    Have you had a pathophysiology class yet? If not, you should have one in nursing school. A&P and microbiology will prepare you for patho, but you'll get most of what you need to get in the one...

  19. NCLEX Apps

    spaghetina replied to denie43's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Yep, UWorld is the best out there. I paid $400 for Kaplan because it was mandatory through school, sat through their multiple-day in-person review where we just sat in a big room and answered...

  20. Nclex Rn and Uworld

    spaghetina replied to Nurse Lalaine's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I've tried to figure out the passing percentage for UWorld for weeks now, but I've never gotten a straight answer. What I can tell you is solely from personal experience, and that is that I didn't...

  21. Applying online-list ALL jobs?

    spaghetina posted a topic in General Nursing

    Has anyone ever come across an online job application that asked that you list ALL of your previous employment? I'm struggling with this because I'm a new grad RN, but I'm almost 40, have held a...

  22. Applying online-list ALL jobs?

    spaghetina replied to spaghetina's topic in General Nursing

    My last job ended in 2004 (like I said - long gap that's going to be interesting to try to explain during interviews!), and it's about the only one I remember any details about (and even those are a...

  23. Testing Tuesday, qbank scores dropping

    spaghetina posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I'll be testing on Tuesday, the 25th, so it's almost here. I've been cramming for the last several days, doing 2 Mark K lectures and 100 UWorld questions (+/- 50) per day. As of yesterday, Mark K was...

  24. Testing Tuesday, qbank scores dropping

    spaghetina replied to spaghetina's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I ended up frantically trying to postpone my test, only to realize that it was less than 24 hours out, and I could no longer reschedule. Instead, I leisurely took a few more short practice tests the...

  25. Hospice, dyspnea, and morphine sulfate

    spaghetina replied to spaghetina's topic in General Students

    That makes sense. The only issue is that these questions were both directly related to hospice care without any further information regarding condition (that I can recall). My brain is absolutely...
